I went and shopped for a Dell XPS 17 model. Because I knew exactly what
I wanted, I started with the base model and then customized it to my
needs. The cost was around $2,100. Next, I started with an upgraded
model which had extras that I didn't really care for. I customized it
to match my needs but it still had things I didn't want. The cost, however,
was only $1700.

How can this be I thought? A laptop with more features that costs less? So
I went back to the base model and I customized it to match EXACTLY what
I had customized on the upgraded model. The cost difference: $508.

You can clearly see that the market value on the items are the exact same,
$2,207.99. But the upgraded model has $528 in discounts while the base
model has only $20 in discounts. Even in my cart, this is what is
shown:

Bottom line: Be careful how you shop on Dell.com.]]>FTD - A Ripoff If I've Ever Seen Onehttp://www.adamwlewis.com/articles/ftd-a-ripoff-if-ive-ever-seen-one

This bouquet, called the "Precious Heart" bouquet, looks great in the FTD
photo. I selected the "Best" quality bouquet expecting to receive what is
shown in the photograph. However, this is what I received:

Looks like my order is missing a few flower's, doesn't it? Maybe it looks
like they accidentally made me the lowest quality product (the $42.99
one shown on their website). Nope. That isn't the case. In the item
description on FTD's website they state:

GOOD bouquet includes 11 stems.
BETTER bouquet includes 15 stems.
BEST bouquet includes 19 stems.

How can a company show a picture of an arrangement with AT LEAST 40
flowers (and that's just what I can count on one side!), when they
are only going to send you 19? They clearly have 3 options for this
arrangement, $42.99, $52.99, and $62.99 all with pictures different from
one another. Even the cheapest arrangement shown on their website has more
flowers on it than the "Best" one that I ordered. In fact, it is
impossible to even order a bouquet that would look like the ones
shown in FTD's photographs, as they don't have an option for an
arrangement made of 80 flowers, which is how many I estimate are in the
"Best" quality photo.

I checked other arrangements on their site, thinking that maybe this one
was just a mistake. It was not. Every arrangement on FTD.com is done
the same way, a HUGE arrangement is shown, but in the item description
the number of stems listed is only a fraction of what is depicted.

I have contacted FTD.com and want to hear their side of the story. I
want to see how they can justify showing pictures of arrangements with 80 flowers
but only delivering arrangements with 19 flowers. This is a gross misrepresentation
of the facts and is an example of false advertising at its finest. This
is the type of thing that brings about class action lawsuits, and FTD
may soon have one on its hands if they cannot change their
deceptive marketing behavior.]]>Elliott Mason Lewis - Coming Soonhttp://www.adamwlewis.com/articles/elliott-mason-lewis-coming-soon

Badge open in their own window. This article has received a lot of attention,
and many people have used the code on their website... however, a few
people have inquired about me posting a jQuery version of this code. So,
for all of those who have jQuery installed and would like to make your
Flickr Badges open photos in their own window, here is the code:

$("#flickr_badge_wrapper a").attr("target","_blank");

Just as with the previous code I provided, this code should be placed
within <script> tags and should appear either after your Flickr
Badge or in a function that doesn't get called until the badge is loaded,
like a body.onload or a jQuery "document".ready function.]]>A Visit To Cox Arboretumhttp://www.adamwlewis.com/articles/a-visit-to-cox-arboretum

Many people have asked for a walk through, but that would just take way
more time than I have. If you have specific questions about any level, just
